Chain rests on chainring teeth when in extreme gears

chainrings worn

Interesting, your post implies your problem started after a change of chainring, am I right? My chain ring was the stock shimano F565 compact crank fitting so I don't think flipping it is a solution? It's been on 6,000 miles without issue, so probably just worn out.

No - the original chainrings. Relatively new bike, no wear. A different problem to you I think.

Let me add my considered professional opinion to the mix :

Chainring's worn.

Meanwhile an enthusiastic amateur says: The chainring is as worn as a worn thing, wrapped up in worn string.

(Goes off humming "Mac The Knife". Oh, the shark, babe, has such teeth, dear...)

I disagree strongly with that.

In my opinion it's f*cked.

Thanks all, hopefully Santa will bring me a new chainring if Parcelforce don't get their act together!

Thanks @confused. Think that you are sorted in mind and chainring now (when new one arrives). Merry Christmas and let's hope the wind eases off a bit.

Quick update, this is sorted (finally!).

I replaced the chain ring and the chain was still skating! Not to worry, it was looking a bit worn so could have done with being replaced anyway.

Turns out the FD was misaligned laterally which was forcing the chain onto the tips of the teeth. Must have taken a knock in the garage or maybe the bolt on the FD bracket got too loose and the tension from the inner cable pulled it out of alignment. Shifting smoothly now.

Thanks all.
